RELIGIOUS VIEW:
Believing in, learning, teaching magic, and engaging in its practice signals ascribing Powers to other entities other than their All Mighty Creator which most monotheistic religions fiercely condemn. Islam particularly views this as apostasy: Such people are to be executed without being given the opportunity to repent according to some Ulema (Scholars). The only exception to its use might be if there is a higher requirement, like saving a life that is being affected adversely by magic but some very stringent prerequisites have to be met.
We are quite frequently afforded a glimpse of this unseen world, if we're open to it through recognition of one of its important aspects we commonly experience in this worldly life. This observation has been passed down by sages of almost all denominations throughout the ages: It is the cause and effect of our actions; its consequences upon us and on others.
There's an old adage that always rung true: "Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become action. Watch your actions for they become your habits. Watch your habits for it become your character. Watch your character for it becomes your destiny!"
In other words, "Garbage in=Garbage out!"
Karma has a way of tracking us down and biting off a big chunk of rump!
Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur.
